Gnome Applications Menu

[Nicholas H.Tollervey]

Hi all,

I seem to remember that in previous versions of Gnome (1.*) it was 
possible to organise where applications were in the "Applications" menu 
(synonymous with "Start" in the Windows world). Furthermore, it was 
possible to add and delete entries. Is this still possible?

My reason for asking is that ScITE appears twice (under "programming" 
and "other") and circus-linux doesn't appear at all (much to the chagrin 
of my daughter). This happens for other applications too. Now, Debian 
get around this by having a "Debian" entry in the menu with all items 
appearing under their associated apt software group (or something like 
that).

I can see why Ubuntu/Gnome organises the menu for you (standard based, 
familiarity etc etc) but what happens if its knackered (as in my case)? 
How might I fix it?

Thoughts, comments and suggestions greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Nicholas
